Pokémon Go to the polls World of Warcraft

According to a report from Kotaku, Blizzard is currently quietly developing a new Warcraft spinoff based on the hit mobile game, Pokémon Go.

The report claims that many people at Blizzard, the popular game developer responsible for World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo, are big fans of Pokémon Go. Most importantly, World of Warcraft lead designer Cory Stockton is a huge Pokémon fan, which, according to developers, helped push the idea into production.

The new mobile game is currently being developed by a Blizzard “incubation team” for multiple smartphone platforms. Read more…

‘Battle for Azeroth’ has the best leveling in ‘World of Warcraft’ history

TwitterFacebook

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth came out of the gate strong. So strong, in fact, that it may be the best expansion in World of Warcraft‘s 14-year history — and it has a chance to keep that title as long as it doesn’t lose momentum.

I have put a few dozen hours into World of Warcraft‘s seventh expansion since its launch on U.S. servers on the night of Aug. 13 and it’s been some of the most fun I’ve had leveling since I started playing WoW in 2005.

Full disclosure on my time with Battle for Azeroth thus far: I leveled a Horde character to 120 and completed all three Zandalar storylines plus put about 20 hours into end-game content. I have also leveled an Alliance character partway through Kul Tiras and completed portions of the Stormsong Valley and Tiragarde Sound storylines. My only experience in Drustavar has been through the eyes of the Horde thus far. Read more…

‘Battle for Azeroth’ is the exactly the expansion ‘World of Warcraft’ needed

TwitterFacebook

With its seventh expansion, World of Warcraft not only went back to its Horde vs. Alliance roots, it brought almost everything back down to earth for the first time in a very long time. What a great decision.

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth — so far — seems like the perfect new adventure for the 14-year-old game. I’ve put nearly a dozen hours into the new expansion since it launched Monday night and it’s made me realize how much WoW needed to take a breather from all the world-threatening, space-faring action it’s been dishing out for years.
